Of course Bari Weiss chose to do this. Nothing shows commitment to Freedom of Speech like firing a journalist for expressing an opinion. As a Strategic Communication expert/scholar, pouring gasoline on a bonfire is not a strategy I'd ever recommend.

Maybe it would be a good tactic for actors NOT to make themselves easily replaceable by AI. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The Australian War Memorial is sponsored by the companies that build the weapons that kill people, and at Estimates today we made them say so out loud.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

The attacks against Grace Tame are disingenuous and unhinged. Deliberately lacking context to cause fear and harm. Enough.

Couldn't agree more ...

#Genocide by #Israel

#WarCrimes and #Genocide by #Israel.

35,000 years Many of Australia's rock art paintings in various locations are almost twice that age. We like to blow them up and obliterate them for mining projects www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

The easiest action of a politician is to propose unfeasible policy that sounds good. This morning on @news.abc.net.au the newly elected One Nation member for Farrer outlined his party's policy to remove the GST on building supplies for new houses. Not a single question about how it would work.

One Nation says they want to tax gas when it gets them a headline. But when it comes to putting your money where your mouth is, they’re missing in action.

Iran has suspended peace talks with the United States after Israel's continued bombing of Lebanon. Benjamin Netanyahu and the genocidal state of Israel have once again killed any chance of peace.

Here's me. "Australia is manufacturing explosives for Israel’s atrocities"

Bullseye 🎯 #Pinks #USDemocracy

Australians' relationship with real estate is so contradictory: "Make housing accessible and cheaper" but also "Ensure housing constantly increases in value because it is a primary asset" Make up your minds!

It's right that Palantir, a firm powering ICE and the war in Gaza, is blocked from the Met Police. We must go further. We must ban so-called crime-predicting tools, "which claim to predict who will commit crimes and where. These systems undermine the presumption of innocence." 🗣️ ORG's Sarah Lasoye

🚨💬 UNISON head of health Helga Pile has told BBC Radio 4 Today programme there are serious concerns about Palantir being involved in NHS patient data systems. Listen below from 52:50 ⬇️ unsn.uk/4fe2Miv

Soessentially those Israelis are akin to Nazis? Master race Lebensraum Genocide Is that an antisemitic accusation? No-they are akin to Nazis because of their actions- nothing to do with them being Jewish I take this cue from decent Jewish people jewishvoiceforliberation.org.uk/article/thir...

Please. Verify and circulate this how they voted summary. In the face of lies from #politicians and disinformation and selective reporting by old legacy media, people need to vote for people that align with what is needed. #auspol

"An official agreed...that the US wanted 'biometric data…social media history…details about your spouse, other people who you share your house with'." Billions for dodgy second-hand subs, or handing over our personal data; the Albanese govt must stop sucking up to the fascist Trump regime. #auspol

For anyone interested - rather than blaming external factors, and making veiled accusations about the people affected, look closer. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

The News sometimes looks bleak, but what we are doing makes a difference. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. You are making a difference!

The world could be different if we were governed by a different breed of humans who understood that politics require morals and imagination. pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/06...

The federal ATSI Heritage Protection Act just isn't strong enough to prevent a situation like Barrambin occurring. Other Australian pieces of land like it need to be returned to Indigenous. That will make it harder for governments to commit colonialism. #qldpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Ethnic cleansing comes in many forms - not just by bombs, missiles, sniper bullets, white phosporous, starvation, targeting women and children, destruction of housing, culture, and infrastructure. Israel loves to destroy health services and kill health workers.

Lack of numeracy in the media damages public understanding of major issues. Example: Falling house prices constantly being correlated to high interest rates and falling confidence without mentioning borrowing power as defined by income and limits determined by lenders?

"[V]oice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger." -- Hermann Göring

.. check out what she actually votes for - negative, cruel, and abandonment of anyone who is vulnerable

Listening to politicians in Australia, full of fear, contempt, and hyperbolic negativity, one could get the impression they hate the country. Always "fighting" someone or something, everything is always "getting worse" - apparently, nothing is ever achieved. No wonder people are depressed.

How is it acceptable @news.abc.net.au for journalists interviewing politicians about the economy to avoid any mention, let alone include a probing question, about the impact of international factors on Australia? The economy doesn't exist in a vacuum. Is "don't mention the war" official policy?

I'm gonna post this everyday so MAGA never forgets what Trump did on Jan 6

Richard Marles on SBS discussing how he & his mate "Pete" are committed to a "rules-based order", which apparently includes murdering 200 people in the eastern Pacific ocean, kidnapping state leaders in South America & launching unilateral wars at the behest of war criminals. Shame on him. And us.

... the symbolism of Australia's relationship with the USA via submarine procurement is profound. Now we hear we're getting second hand subs. Hand me down defence equipment from an untrustworthy and corrupt regime. I bet we could build new ones ourselves for less.

If you google 10 Things I Hate About Zombies (by me, as Hazel Graves, out in September), you'll get a terrible AI summary with some awful and utterly wrong dot points about the "10 things". Fun fact: you can just read the jacket copy I wrote instead!!

After @news.abc.net.au revelations on this week's 4 Corners about BHP quietly walking away from its climate commitments, it covers itself in further glory with its pursuit of @michaelwest.com.au.web.brid.gy & now seeking a suppression order over its own lawsuit. michaelwest.com.au/bhp-urgent-s...

So it’s up to the public to refer IDF war criminals returning to Australia to the AFP and Borderforce?🤯 #auspol

JFC. How David Shoebridge doesn’t lose his shit is a reflection on his professionalism. But he is exposing the hypocrisy of our political system and I’m forever grateful 🙏

As a political scientist Diermeier is lying blatantly. Universities are inherently political. Look at the history of Vanderbilt! Check out its donors, the research it has done, and the funding of that research.

Ebola is a terrible disease because you often catch it while caring for someone you love – a husband, a child, a mother. Stopping transmission means helping communities recognize symptoms early, access testing quickly and get timely care. Learn more about ebola disease: www.who.int/health-topic...

Just a wild way for NY Times to sane wash a rapist using the government to go after one of his victims

It would be bad for public confidence if Tony Blair had any role in public life ever again.

Time to publish a 'Poor List'? Like the person who called ABC radio about how he couldn't afford his rent on #Jobseeker, was surviving on oats "and water to make me feel full", and his job service provider was offering him prayers. Extreme wealth and poverty = policy failure. #inequality #auspol

WTF!

Dear media, You don't have to say "E Jean Carroll accused Trump of defamation and rape." You can say "Trump defamed and raped E Jean Carroll." It's been adjudicated. Thank you

The world is watching Lebanon going through the same nightmare Gaza has endured — and once again, powerful nations are doing nothing. How many cities have to be destroyed before the world calls it what it is?

I like this image for the accuracy of its message. Don't pretend it's anything else.
